Registration for Spring 2022

By January 5th 2022

If you have questions about registering for Spring, please contact the Registrar’s Office at registrar@allegheny.edu or 814-332-2357.

There are multiple add/drop deadlines for Spring 2022!!

Due to the modular structure of Spring 2022, there are several add/drop and credit/no credit deadlines to know.

  1. All students MUST be registered for at least one course no later than 5:00 pm on Friday, January 21, 2022.  Students not registered for at least one course by that deadline will be placed on a leave for Spring 2022.
  2. The add/drop and credit/no credit deadline for Module 1 courses is 5:00 pm on Friday, January 21, 2022.
  3. The add/drop and credit/no credit deadline for full-semester courses is 5:00 pm on Tuesday, February 1, 2022. In most cases this applies to senior projects only.
  4. The add/drop and credit/no credit deadline for Module 2 and Module 2A courses is 5:00 pm on Wednesday, March 2, 2022.
  5. The add/drop and credit/no credit deadline for Module 2B courses is 5:00 pm on Monday, April 18, 2022.

Enrolled Students may add and drop courses prior to these deadlines using Self-Service. All course conflict forms must be completed by the appropriate deadline. Requests for eligible courses to be taken credit/no credit require a form to be completed here.

Students who miss the appropriate deadline will NOT be able to change their schedules.

There are two overload deadlines!!

The deadline to submit a request to take more than 4 sem hours in Spring 2022 Module 1 is noon on Wednesday, January 19, 2022. The Module 1 overload form will be turned off at that time.

The deadline to submit an overload form for Spring 2022 Module 2 courses is noon on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. The overload form will be turned off at that time.

Overload forms are available at this link.

Seniors: Check your Senior Project Registration!!

Please see here for directions on how to register for a “double” senior project. If a student is writing a combined comp, they need to make sure their registration is for “DOUBL HIST/MATH 600″ or “DOUBL CMPSC/COMM 610,” as the case may be. If a student is writing two separate comps, this does not apply; they will need to register as per the rules of their two majors.

If you are facing a situation where your major departments have different registration requirements for senior projects, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR ADVISORS BEFORE YOU REGISTER!! So, for example, one program requires a two semester comp and the other doesn’t; or one program requires a 2 credit 600 and the other a 4 credit 600. If you are uncertain, you can find that information in the Academic Bulletin for the year you first came to Allegheny.

In almost every case, the add/drop deadline for senior projects is 5:00 pm on Tuesday, February 1, 2022.

Billing and Financial Aid Reminders (repeated from October message)

Financial Aid Considerations: As the structure of Spring 2022 is unusual, there are several differences between Spring 2022 and previous semesters. If you have questions, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at fao@allegheny.edu or 814-332-2701 or toll free at 1-800-835-7780.

The Intent to Return Form will be provided by the Financial Aid Office to those required to complete it.

  1. Depending on their sources of aid, some students MUST be registered for 15 weeks of instruction, which would require a course in Module 1 and at least one course that spans the entire length of Module 2. These students and their advisors have all been individually notified of this requirement. 
  2. Certain sources of aid, specifically some federal and state aid, will show as “pending” and will not be disbursed until after the student starts their Module 2 classes. This is because no student will be full-time (12 credits) until that point. 
  3. Students who do not enroll in a Module 1 course or who drop or withdraw from their Module 1 course must complete an “Intent to Return” form. Failure to do so may result in their financial aid being returned. If a student completes the “Intent to Return” form and then does not return to classes for Module 2, the date they signed the form will be the date they left the institution.

Billing Considerations: To accommodate students and families on multi-payment plans, the billing deadlines for Spring 2022 will remain the same. However, pending aid (see above) will be accounted for in calculating balances. If you have questions, please contact the Office of Financial Services at finsrv@allegheny.edu or toll free at 1-800-376-7075. 

Signature Consent vs. Add Authorization in Self-Service

Top line

  1. If your course has started, then you must use “Add Authorization” to add students. This will last for the add/drop period for the period in question.
    • This ignores posted caps, pre-reqs, and other restrictions.
  2. If your course has not started, then either the student can add if the class is open and they are eligible OR you will need to use “Signature Consent” to add students.
    • This means that posted caps, pre-reqs, and class year restrictions will remain in force.

  • Signature consent – 01/04/22 – 01/17/22

Module 1

  1. For Module 1 classes, faculty will need to use the “Add Authorization” function to add students to the course starting on Tuesday, January 18, 2022, the first day of Module 1. If “Add Authorizations” have already been granted, students will be able to register starting on Tuesday.
  2. For Module 1 that were signature-only, if a student does not enroll by Monday, January 17, 2022, faculty will need to go into Self-Service and provide “Add Authorization” even if they have already provided “Signature Consent.” i.e., signature consent will not allow a student into a Module 1 class after that point in the semester.
  3. Between Tuesday, January 18, 2022 and the end of the Module 1 add/drop on Friday, January 21, 2022, faculty may use the “Add Authorization” function to override course caps for Module 1 courses. Remember that pre-requisite and class year checking is turned off for this period and all adds are via “Add Authorization.”

Module 2 and 2A Courses

  1. For Module 2 and 2A courses, until the start of Module 2 on Sunday, February 20, 2022,  faculty should continue to use “Signature Consent” to add students and students will be able to continue to add open classes for which they are eligible. “Add Authorizations” granted during this period for Module 2 courses will allow students to register starting on Monday, February 21, 2022.
  2. This means that until Monday, February 21, 2022, class caps and class year restrictions for Module 2 and 2A courses cannot be overridden.

  2. This means that until Thursday, April 7, 2022, class caps and class year restrictions for Module 2B courses cannot be overridden.
